COUNTDOWN IS BACK THIS JANUARY, 2019 ... ON rage !!!!! Stay tuned below with regular Countdown full archival information for each Countdown episode rage shall be airing every Saturday throughout January ...
I was watching Countdown performances of 1986 at 6pm a few days ago on VH1 and they played 'No Promises' Icehouse (which was taken from the '85 Xmas Show) I could have sworn that the girl on the keyboards was Annie Jones (Jane from Neighbours). Am I right? or was it a long shot? They did a few close ups of her during the performance, but it was hard to be 100% sure as it was a bit dark. Was she just there for looks and not an actual musician of the group? Anyway, just a thought that entered my head and can anyone confirm yes or no?
That AMAZING performance of "No Promises" on Countdown features models and actresses miming, just like Rober Palmer did... Carol Hitchcock I think is in it as well, I think Annie Jones may be one of those girls...
Not dead cert whether it is Annie Jones though it highly likely as she appeared in the 1987 Huxton Creepers music video for their cover song 'Pretty Flamingo'.
I thought that was Carol Hitchcock! Was she the one flashing the mirror in a close up at one stage? Was she a model or a backing singer at the time? Does anyone have any info on that?
YES I too believe that to be Annie Jones who of course went onto play plain Jane Harris on 'Neighbours' in the late 80's. After watching it I am dead certain it's her and Carol Hitchcock who released the cover 'Get Ready' in '87 already getting a taste of things to come.
Carol was indeed a model. Her first appearance in a video was by Icehouse with "Mr Big"from and she appeared with No Promises as we saw last weekend on the guitar I think...
And then in 1987 she released her only single with a B-Side "Get Ready" produced by Stock Aitken Waterman...
